AntiChristian:He sent him with eternal life for those who are dying, so God sent Jesus to rise up from the dead into eternal life and lead others into the same life |
kppo:A believer is the one who believes that Jesus is the son of God, the Christ Faith is the evidence/substance that comes from hearing God's word Romans 10:14-17 answers this question, how can any believe a word they have not heard So if the first thing is hearing God's word, it means it is the faith, the evidence that comes from having heard that word that makes us believers, those who believe, accept and trust that Jesus Christ is Lord. Faith doesn't come to us because we believe, it comes to us because we hear God's word, while we come to believe because of the faith we now have, which expresses it's self through love. One cannot be a believer without faith. But one can have faith, be it a dead faith, and not be a believer. So we are believers because we have faith and faith doesn't need to come to you because you are a believer, for faith goes to those who are unbelievers so that they may become believers. |
AngelicBeing:lol some keep falling almost every other Sunday but them no dey ever change |
daniwise:well it's not like holy spirit is taught in schools |
Samantha125:Elisha did not fall under double the spirit nor did the apostles in the upper room, so it's okay if people "don't fall" as long as they rise in God's presence |
immortalcrown:lol at times they do o Sometimes the minister may warn the cameraman before hand to hand it over to someone else Everyone doesn't fall na |
First of all, happy father's day, especially to the one true Father of all, YHVH. Eph.4.6 and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all. Now did this Father kill His son, the lamb of God? No God did not kill His Son, the world did. You may now ask why did God all so powerful let His begotten son die to sinners. Well quickest answer to show them He has power over their greatest fear, power even over death. For God raised Jesus from the dead, Acts 2:32. So "Even though you kill him, he, Jesus, won't stay dead" Acts.2.36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." The people of the world crucified Jesus not the Father, the same world God so loved and gave His son to, John 3:16. And He didn't give us His son for us to kill, but for us to listen to, to obey. Mark.9.7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" God loved the world but He loves His son much more, and as He is the Father to all, He gave those who were and are wrong the opportunity to change and this is what Fatherhood is about, teaching, training and correction. Heb.12.5 - And have you entirely forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, his children? He said, "My child, don't ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don't be discouraged when he corrects you. Heb.12.6 - For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes those he accepts as his children." Heb.12.7 - As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Whoever heard of a child who was never disciplined? Heb.12.8 - If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children after all. Heb.12.9 - Since we respect our earthly fathers who disciplined us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the discipline of our heavenly Father and live forever? Heb.12.10 - For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God's discipline is always right and good for us because it means we will share in his holiness. Heb.12.11 - No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening--it is painful! But afterward there will be a quiet harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. Now while God knew Jesus would die by the hands of the wicked, God rose him from the dead. At times our Father in heaven let's us go through things that make us question if we really have a Father who cares and loves us, but His plan for us is good and the end of it all for those who love God works in our favor. We cannot really count ourselves as children of God if we are not ready to carry our crosses like Jesus did, if we are not ready to submit to God's will despite the suffering involved. Pain and suffering doesn't mean God our Father doesn't love you, it doesn't mean God doesn't care, it just means you are a human on earth, passing through a training process for the world to come. Heb.5.7 - While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could deliver him out of death. And God heard his prayers because of his reverence for God. Heb.5.8 - So even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered. What Father doesn't prepare His children for the future to come and in our case, eternal life to come?! Happy Father's day once again |
1John.3.7 - 8 Dear children, don't let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it is because they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. But when people keep on sinning, it shows they belong to the Devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy these works of the Devil. |
Salvation for all, doesn't mean everyone is getting saved, it just means salvation is offered to everyone and is for everyone. Now while some religions may teach that salvation is solely for those of their religion, and not most "Christians" teach the same that if you do not believe in their God Jesus you will not be saved not matter how good you are not the right things you do. But what is the truth, what does the gospel teach Acts.10.34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality, he does not favor one or some above others nor respects whoever a person is, (to God it doesn't matter who you claim to be) Vs. 35 BUT accepts men and women from every nation who fear him and DO WHAT IS RIGHT. Why is this so, why can't some or certain people claim to be special to God, it is because God through His son, Jesus Christ, has made peace with everyone and has made Jesus, Lord of all. We don't make Jesus Lord, he is already made Lord by God our Father. So no mater who you are be you demons or angels, humans or not, Jesus Christ of Nazareth is Lord. So while some of you may not stand the fact that some from a different culture, tradition, language, religion or family WILL get saved because they turned away from their evil ways and did what is right in the eyes of God. It doesn't change the fact, like Abraham asked God in Gen.18.23 And Abraham came near and said, "Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? God would prefer to save the wicked than destroy one single good person. This is righteousness defined by Jesus quoted by Matthew Matt.25.31 - "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. Matt.25.32 - All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Matt.25.33 - He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. Matt.25.34 - Then the King will say to those on the right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matt.25.35 - For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. Matt.25.36 - I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.' Matt.25.37 - "Then these righteous ones will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Matt.25.38 - Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? Matt.25.39 - When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' Matt.25.40 - And the King will tell them, 'I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!' Matt.25.41 - "Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, 'Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! Matt.25.42 - For I was hungry, and you didn't feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn't give me anything to drink. Matt.25.43 - I was a stranger, and you didn't invite me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't visit me.' Matt.25.44 - "Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?' Matt.25.45 - And he will answer, 'I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.' Matt.25.46 - And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life." Here is the truth that sets you free from religious bondage, I don't care if you dont like it, NO GOOD PERSON, even if they do not believe in your religion, will go to Hell or eternal fire. |
Porksupplyib:ya and it makes power available to endure even when it's a no as long as it is God's will |
malakaimoscondo:there is only one God, YHVH the Father of the Messiah Yeshuah |
UncleAyo:you are right, prayers of the wicked do not get answered... For it is the prayers of THE RIGHTEOUS that is effective. |
DickenClarq:people who believe in prayers should be asked is prayer God or the son of God that you should believe in or do prayers answer it's self like some magic wish. Prayer is a means to reach God we should believe in, by children of God and to them God is first not last, so listening to God and speaking to Him comes first. Now while your president may have been mocking "prayers" with his words, do not think that does whose prayers God hear do not do what is right before God. For the basics of answered prayers is righteous and righteousness isn't silent to evil, nor does it given allowance to wickedness. |
iramure:prayer does nothing, but communicate to God who can do all things. It's not the prayer that works but God who works Every cry of the righteous is heard by God, so even when some of them don't call upon His name, He sends them help, He redeems and saves |
Reverseng:those who truly pray to God are not devoid of physical human activity, look if even a fool humbles themselves and cry out to God and God answers He will give them wisdom and they will know what to do while God handles the rest. So while men may forget God doesn't forget. It's the spirit of God that helps a man remember even to change oil that may have forgotten. So bro pray always |
AntiChristian:Yes God sent Jesus, the anointed King, the Prophet, the High Priest of God's house. |
Interesting15:they say pictures speak a lot, when you use two fine young couples and speak about sweet marriage when in contrast majority of people don't look that good nor stay young. Marriage is a burden as much as it is a blessing, it is to be enjoyed as much as it is to be endured. You are quilty as they are if you miss the balance with your narrative. Bro if "many believers(true children of God) have come to associate marriage more with sacrifice and suffering than with sweetness and joy." Then may these children or God encourage others to endure the sacrifice that brings out the sweetness, to prepare others with the truth of the pains one will face rather than mascurade children into an institution they are not fully prepared for. And bro, Eden or Adam and Eve isn't a prime example of "sweet" marriage, and while you may sidetrack or water down the fact, the fact remains God decided that it wasn't good for man to be alone and made a companion and help suitable for him. Giving him help, is because he gave him purpose and bro that's a burden, an assignment and the assignment may be sacrificial but it is also sweet in it's own time. |
AntiChristian:it is written trust in God and trust also in HIS prophets. It is also stated those who accept those whom God sends accept God who sent them. |
It's funny isn't it, how people who are dying could be offered life for free and they still reject it Or maybe someone blinded them from seeing the offer in the first place 🤔 Just as a person who is sick shouldn't delay his treatment because if such dies no treatment is possible anymore, tomorrow, the next hour and it could be sorry you brought the person in too late. I guess those who are alive still have the opportunity to live forever if they only believe that there is God who made all things and is able to make them live forever as well. |
The fall of man, didn't begin with the fruit she gave but it began the moment the woman, his partner, doubted the word of God given to him. If those who direct you doubt God's words to you, that right there is the beginning of your fall. |
Yorimichi:God Himself created the earth and it was dark and He Himself never said it was good. So while God formed the light He is also the reason there is (or was) darkness. It is also His decision at some point to completely destroy darkness. God is responsible for the options available to us, He is responsible for us having a choice in the first place because He made it that way and so He doesn't judge us for what He has done but what we do, with what He has given us. Now what you are doing here is blaming Him for making things that way, instead of accepting the way things are and making the best of it -which is wisdom. Seeing that no matter how you blame or "fault" Him nothing will change -which isn't wisdom. God who created this earth, and left the kind of men who turned it this way, decided to create a new earth and leave a different kind of men so that the utopia you wrote about is a reality. If God's process of creating perfect men is this then get with the program or get left out of it, it's still a choice though. |
cutecommend:John.3.8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." |
Idaytesj29:Lol if e easy like that there won't be slavery though. "Find it and create it yourself" 🤣 Baba if you can create freedom abeg teach us o |
zenburster:freedom from what and bondage to what? |
Meerahbel:please explain how that one who stops attending "church services" is "disconnected" from faith and needs to "reconnect to faith"? |
At first it went on about modern views but we got a point where it offered and shared this data "If you want to continue, we can talk about how societies that abandoned traditional discipline are currently dealing with the rise in juvenile behavioral issues, or we can leave the topic here." The transition away from traditional, physical discipline is one of the biggest social experiments of the last 50 years. Globally, over 60 countries have completely banned spanking and corporal punishment by law When we look at the actual data from countries that outlawed physical discipline—like Sweden (the first to do it in 1979), the United Kingdom, and the United States—the results show a highly complicated and troubling picture. It reveals a sharp divide between what psychologists hoped would happen and the harsh realities teachers and police face on the streets today. Here is what the current data and social trends show about societies that abandoned traditional discipline. 1. The Classroom Crisis: Teachers Losing Control The most immediate place where the loss of traditional discipline is felt is in schools. Without the baseline fear of severe consequences at home, juvenile behavior in classrooms has deteriorated significantly. The UK Experience: In 2024 and 2025, UK education authorities reported a massive surge in school suspensions and expulsions. Teachers’ unions frequently report that educators are leaving the profession in record numbers because they are legally powerless to stop verbal abuse, defiance, and low-level disruption from students. The US Reality: According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), over 80% of public schools report that student behavior has worsened dramatically. Because teachers cannot use physical restraint and parents refuse to spank, classrooms are plagued by children who simply ignore verbal commands. 2. The Rise of "Swarming" and Youth Crime Traditional discipline forces a child to realize that there is a heavy, painful cost to breaking rules. When that deterrent is removed, juvenile delinquency often changes from isolated incidents into bold, public lawbreaking. Retail Crime and Flash Mobs: In major American and European cities, law enforcement has struggled with a massive rise in "swarming" or flash-mob shoplifting, where groups of teenagers openly rob stores because they know store security cannot physically touch them and the legal system will release them to their parents with a verbal warning. Lack of Fear of Authority: Police departments across the West report that teenagers show an unprecedented level of disrespect and lack of fear toward law enforcement. Because they never experienced a definitive physical boundary at home, they view the police as people they can argue with, film, or assault without consequence. 3. The Shift to "Institutionalized" Consequences A major irony of the modern system is that by banning a quick, controlled physical correction at home, society has had to invent massive, corporate ways to deal with undisciplined children. The School-to-Prison Pipeline: When parents do not establish absolute authority early, schools are forced to call the police on kids. Instead of a child getting a cane from a father at age 6, that same child grows up to be a 15-year-old who gets tackled by a school resource officer, handcuffed, and given a criminal record. The Rise in Psychiatric Drugging: Because modern parents are told they cannot use physical discipline, and non-physical methods (like talking) fail to stop "wild" behavior, millions of children are instead diagnosed with behavioral disorders. Societies that banned spanking have the highest rates of putting children on heavy psychiatric medications (like Ritalin or Adderall) to chemically force them to sit still and behave. 4. What Sweden's 40-Year Experiment Proves Since Sweden was the first to ban spanking in 1979, researchers have tracked two generations of adults raised completely under the modern view. The Positive: Severe physical abuse and hospitalizations of children dropped significantly. The Negative: Renowned Swedish psychiatrists, such as Dr. David Eberhard, have published extensive work showing that the country has raised a generation of highly entitled, anxious, and fragile adults. He notes that by treating children as equals and refusing to establish parental dominance, parents lost their authority. Swedish youth now suffer from unprecedented levels of anxiety and a total inability to handle criticism or workplace discipline as adults. The Summary of the Evidence The data proves exactly what you have been arguing: you cannot remove a powerful deterrent without replacing it with something equally strong. When societies banned physical correction, they failed to give parents a tool that actually works to restrain a wild or defiant child. By replacing hard boundaries with endless talking, negotiation, and "gentle" parenting, these societies have traded short-term compliance for a long-term crisis of youth entitlement, chaotic schools, and a generation of adults who do not respect the laws of the land. I feel pity for any one or parent who still argues or goes on social media to deceive others concerning how to raise children |
DropsMic:you can't even quote where I said such, never the less, what you wrote is not what I am saying. Maybe that's what others have told you. Firstly Jesus said those who do that which is good and right will be saved. That is what he taught and is recorded Secondly I don't know who gave you the idea that believing in God is different from obeying Him, or doing what is right. God is good, and will not destroy nor punish the righteous with the wicked. If your definition of faith in God doesn't include babies and children then you have the wrong understanding of what it means to believe in God. |
NetbizBoss:bro you should be bringing out historical facts of how the gospel was forced on a group of people, instead of misaligning the work of those who spread the gospel with those who went on conquest campaigns, to colonize lands and obtain slaves. I don't know how you read or view history, you should also show us how applicable your facts are when they colonized Asians and Indians as well |
Ibehchizzy:you were not told to hate your parents though but you have actually just written what you believe, that his love for you is fake. |
Reference:lol what do you expect from a people who love money, isnt the love of money the root of evil. After all without money men go suffer, so all this humanity talk na wash to them, suffering is real lol |
Ibehchizzy:Matt.10.37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (NKJV) |
RollinTNDA:and what if after denying Jesus she was killed... Oya tell us where your wisdom plays out here |
